Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest entry in the legendary Jurassic Park franchise, is now available to stream at home.
Accessible through the service NOW, the film is written by David Koepp (who penned the script for the original Jurassic Park) and is directed by Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One).
It sees Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mahershala Ali (Green Book) and Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) play members of a team of mercenaries and scientists.
The group are hired by a shady pharmaceutical company (represented by Rupert Friend, The Phoenician Scheme) to venture into a zone near the Equator where humans are banned, and dangerous dinosaurs roam free.
The goal of the expedition: extract precious dino DNA from the large creatures.
During their travels, the team rescues an ordinary family (led by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Sicario: Soldado), who were inexplicably sailing in this no-human zone when they became shipwrecked.
As such, the mercenaries must protect the family from the killer dinosaurs while carrying out their dangerous, perhaps morally questionable mission.
Jurassic World Rebirth boasts stellar action, while the story - though pleasingly more stripped-back than the three previous Jurassic Worlds - isn't particularly interesting.
Chances are, though, that most of the people tuning into Jurassic World Rebirth are less focused on themes, instead hoping to see exciting, stylish, visceral dinosaur-related action. On that vital front, Edwards delivers.
Just like on Godzilla, Rogue One and his last directorial effort, The Creator (which we at JOE recommended only yesterday), the filmmaker shows once again that he is a master at special effects and scale.
This is to the extent that when Scarlett Johannson's merc nearly falls off a ship to her death while trying to shoot a sea dinosaur with a special gun that can extract its DNA, you actually somehow believe in the moment it's real.
Inspired as much by Aliens and Jaws as the original Jurassic Park in terms of his creature feature set-pieces, it's Edwards' direction and his game cast that make Jurassic World Rebirth one of the better entries in the franchise to date.
